Cemetery Reef snorkeling-Anyone know what outfit takes you there

[Starz723]

I heard that cemetery reef has exceptional snorkeling.

 

I can only find companies that take you to stingray city & the barrier reef.

 

Does anyone know who might go there for snorkeling and if you have a website it would be greatly appreciated.

 

Thanks

The snorkeling here is shore snorkeling, meaning you go in from the beach. I don't believe any excursions go there. The snorkeling there is very good, but not really excellent. We enjoy it there as it is a great spot to take new snorkeler because they can walk in and you don't have to swim very far to get to the coral heads. When you get off the ship, just take a cab or bus (small vans) down to Cemetary Reef. They should know what you are talking about. It is on 7 mile beach. One time we bagged dry cat food into baggies and swam out and fed the fish. It was so much fun!

Just hail a taxi or minibus and go. Helps if you have your own snorkelling gear, but you can probably rent gear from a shop near the cruise terminals and drop it off when you return.

 

Snorkelling is pretty good there. However there aren't shore services available. Be prepared to stay a couple of hours and then hail a taxi or minibus back toward town for lunch.

 

Many cemeteries are on the beach in the islands. The one you are looking for is a large cemetery on Seven Mile Beach as you are heading up into the district of West Bay. There is a path on the northern edge of the cemetery which is signposted for public access to the beach.

 

Any minibus with the letters WB will go right past, as will all tours going to Hell or the Turtle Farm.
